After the Secret Service shooting became known, several Oklahoma lawmakers expressed their opinions on the incident on social media.

Senator James Lankford wrote on X: “Cindy and I are praying for President Trump's safety following today's disturbing incident and are grateful for the Secret Service's quick response. Violence has no place in our society.”

Senator Markwayne Mullin wrote on X: “As we await further details on the incident in Palm Beach, Christie and I are praying for President Trump and his family. We are very happy to hear that he is safe.”

Rep. Kevin Hern wrote on X: “As we await further details on the incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Tammy and I are praying for President Trump and his family. We are very relieved to hear that he is safe.”

Deputy Hern also made the following statement:

Join Tammy and me in praying for President Trump and his family. We are relieved that he is safe and grateful for the quick action of the Secret Service to protect him.
